Linda invites you to join her for an optional six nights in Rishikesh prior to the main body of the trip. Rishikesh is a small town in the northern state of Uttarakhand and famous as the ‘Yoga Capital of India’. It is scenically located where the Ganges River comes down from the Himalayas.

Rishikesh catapulted to Western fame when the Beatles dropped by for a visit to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram. There, the Beatles wrote 18 songs for the White Album and 2 songs for Revolver.

The following excursions will be optional and paid for in Rishikesh.

Triveni Ghat, where daily, each morning and evening, thousands bathe in the Ganges and enjoy the Maha Aarti ritual.

Gita Bhavan. Place of Guru Shri Ram Sukh Daasji, (the great thinker of his time) where, twice a year, people gather to read the Ramayana.

Pranayama (breathing) and meditation at the beautiful Swarg Ashram, at the foot of the Himalayas on the left bank of the Ganges. This is the spiritual “ground zero” of Rishikesh, filled with ashrams and temples known for healthful and satvic living. It is this spot where, for centuries, famous Yogis and Rishis have been doingTapasya.

Parmarth Niketan for the Pooja Aarti, one of the few Ashrams left in India where children study the Vedas.

Rajaji National Park on a Jeep Safari, famous for sightings of Asian Elephants, King Cobra, Tigers, and Himalayan Black bear.It is also an opportunity to see over 315 species of birds.
